Chapter 608: Quick, Help Me Up
Compared with the prosthesis, this newly grown leg is a real part of Luo Yong's body.
"My father can now use this leg very freely. It's just that he is still in the adaptation stage, and it is best if this leg does not bear too much force. So far, he dare not walk with this leg. He can only move in bed and do some relatively simple force-bearing exercises." Luo Wenkun said.
At this time, a nurse came in.
"Mr. Luo Yong, you can start your afternoon leg training."
"Yes, nurse."
With the help of the nurse, Luo Yong started leg training in bed.
The so-called leg training is actually using equipment to do seated leg raises on the bed, which is very similar to leg training in the gym.
The entire training process is divided into single-leg seated leg press and double-leg seated leg press. The weight borne by the newly grown right leg will be much lighter.
Even so, Xu You could see that Luo Yong had recovered very well indeed, and the muscles on his right leg were already visible to the naked eye.
Luo Yong was exercising very seriously, especially the exercise for his right leg. He did not dare to slack off for a moment and had to ensure that every movement was in compliance with the standards.
After completing several sets of training, Luo Yong was sweating all over. Luo Wenkun and the nurse helped Luo Yong wipe the sweat off to prevent him from catching a cold.
"Nurse, can I try to walk down the ground? It won't be too strenuous for my right leg, just a little to get a feel for the feeling."
Hearing Luo Yong's request, the nurse hesitated for a moment.
In fact, according to Luo Yong’s current training level, the weight that his right leg can bear has reached the standard for walking.
However, because Luo Yong is a patient in the first phase of clinical trials, it would be better to be conservative.
Luo Wenkun was also a little hesitant, but when he saw Luo Yong's expectant expression, Luo Wenkun softened his heart for a moment.
"Nurse, with my dad's level of training, a little walking shouldn't be a problem, right? I'll be watching closely from the sidelines."
"Well... I can't make the decision on this. I'd better report it to my superiors first." said the nurse.
After the nurse left, Luo Yong said:
"Hey, I don't know if my application will be approved this time. I feel that with my current ability, I should be able to walk around. If not, I'll just have to wait for a while."
Speaking of which, in addition to not having used his own legs to walk for a long time, Luo Yong also wanted Xu You to see this historic moment.
As one of the patients who recovered the fastest among the first batch of clinical trials, Luo Yong believes that he already has this ability.
"Uncle, it's okay. Don't be too anxious. We have been waiting for so long. A few days won't make a difference."
"Yes, uncle. We will come to see you often when we have time. Just follow the plan to recover normally."
After a while, the nurse came back.
"Mr. Luo Yong, the doctor said that you have recovered well. You can try to walk first, but you must use a walking aid. If you feel uncomfortable, you need to stop walking immediately."
Luo Yong was very excited when he heard the nurse's words.
"Okay! We must strictly follow the doctor's instructions! Wenkun, help me up!"
With the help of Xu You, Luo Wenkun and others, Luo Yong carefully moved out of bed and walked slowly to the walking aid .
Since accepting this treatment plan, Luo Yong has not used his legs to walk for a long time, which makes Luo Yong's heart beat faster.
Supporting the walking aid with both hands, Luo Yong tried carefully and slowly began to walk.
Because Luo Yong's right leg has not yet fully developed, his height keeps changing when he walks. At the same time, his right leg is not very strong , and a lot of weight relies on the walking aid.
Despite this, Luo Yong can still move his legs simply with the help of a walking aid, and he feels as excited as a child who has just learned to walk.
At this time, Luo Wenkun and others were guarding Luo Yong, fearing that something might happen to Luo Yong.
Several doctors appeared at some point and watched Luo Yong as he walked.
"Mr. Luo Yong, how do you feel?" a doctor asked.
"It feels good. My right leg can still bear a certain amount of weight. I think I can start walking later, which will allow me to adapt to this new right leg faster," said Luo Yong.
After all, there is no precedent for patients like Luo Yong who receive regenerative treatment for broken legs, and there is no definitive plan for their recovery.
"Yes, as long as you feel okay and can ensure safety, you can get out of bed and practice walking. Because this is the first phase of a clinical trial, our recovery plan is constantly changing."
There is no problem with Luo Yong's newly grown right leg itself, it just needs enough time to adapt. The specific adaptation time and plan will be adjusted at any time according to Luo Yong's performance.
After walking around with the help of a walking aid, Luo Yong began to feel tired in his legs.
"Wenkun, help me go back."
"Okay, Dad."
After returning to the hospital bed, the nurse helped Luo Yong massage his right leg which had just been exercised, so that Luo Yong could relax faster.
"Anyway, the recovery has been much faster than expected. Next, we just need to wait for both legs to grow to the same length. Basically, I will be able to walk on my own without the use of a walking aid."
Before receiving treatment, Luo Yong never thought that he would be able to restore his full body at the age of over 50.
And all of this comes from Xu You’s research results.
In excitement, Luo Wenkun said to Xu You:
"Academician Xu, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have to walk with prosthetic limbs for the rest of my life. I really don't know how to thank you..."
Luo Yong knew that Xu You was a man who did not seek fame or money, which made Luo Yong feel that he had nothing to repay him for.
Xu You shook his head and laughed when he heard this:
"Uncle, I am not the only one to thank. I also want to thank Fulong Medical, which was founded by Wenkun, and the doctors and nurses who participated in the research and experimental process. Of course, I also want to thank you for your courage to accept the treatment and your patience in actively cooperating with the treatment."
As always , Xu You maintains a very humble attitude, while also allowing more people to enjoy this honor.
Luo Wenkun also smiled and said, "Xu You's contribution is of course indispensable, and our entire team has made their own contributions. I hope Fulong Medical can help more people recover their health in the future."
When Xu You and Lin Shi went back, Luo Wenkun asked the nurse to help look after Luo Yong and he sent him out himself.
